Usually you have to guess, was it named? You can of course put who it was.

Stitch, I have double checked and I never received an e-mail from you. If you would like to swap, you need to e-mail me on [email protected] and I can fit you in without a problem.

Carolinett!!

Wow!
Thank thank you

It had papers- lots of lovely papers in A4 and 12 X12; fabric pieces; ribbon; fabric padded shapes; a metal embossing set (wow); die cuts; ideas books- just so much that I was Grin and Blush. My first words were OMG.

Thank you ever so.


I sent my swapper hers days ago but no mention.

forgot to say
why I sent you those mirror card frames was if you've got a coloured permanent marker you can colour them what ever you want and they will stay shinny

It was perfect, and coz I've got some papers I can do a new page or two. When I was a kid I used to play in the fields between our house and the Church, and I got a postcard of that on EBay this week (the Church- 1905). Its now known as Trinity Fields Estate [sdad] so it will be a joy to do a page from the card.

No package here Peachy....I'll get Dh to check with another house in the next village that has an identical address to us bar one word....they also have the same surname!!! Our regular postie is on holiday plus the road to our house is closed.....me thinks that Mr Postie couldnt be bothered to go the long way around as we have had very little post this week.
As soon as I know anything I will let you know.....Im all excited now

Only just found this thread!

(Ongoing probs with internet at home, and a ridiculously strict screening thing at work).

Not yet got anything, but the post in Fenland can take a while.
